THE friends of the President West
and South have got him pretty well
corralled now, and we cannot see
how he can escape their hospitable i'm.
poitunities. We trust that he may not.
Such expressions of good will as Mr..
Cleveland is receiving from Chicago,
st. Louis and other points are not to be
lightly considered and set aside. He
owes 1t TO these people, even at the
sacrifice of his own private convenience
and the postponement of other less i'm
portant public business, to accept the
calls that are made upon him and go
out among his fellow. citizens as one of
them, one with them, and Of the same
hopes, sympathies and interests.
Greater than the sight of King receiv-
ing the homage of his subjects is the
spectacle of Democratic President
shaking hands and exchanging cour-
tesies with the sovereigns of whom he
is the chosen trustee and representative.

THE artificial stimulation OF immi.
grafton by the steamship lines is the
means of bringing to this country many
persons whose sole capital is expended
In the payment of their fares. The
transportation companies are governed
in the matter BY money considerations
merely. 1t Is OF 10 interest to them
whether the persons they dump OUT
upon our shores ATE Of desirable
character or not whether they are
morally, physically or intellectually
adapted to become useful American
citizens. Tie New Orleans Times.

No sensible man would oppose immigru.

grant and To- the country. If natural

THE Philadelphia Press claims the
credit Of having exposed the nefariou'
practice In that city of adulterating buns
by the use of chromate Of lead in place
of eggs. We forget where the credit
belongs of exposing another bad Phlla.
delphia practice Of raising flannel
cakes with sulphuric acid and still
another Of making bread out of alum,
which is said to be much in vogue
among the bakers but TIE CRITIC is
ready to allow full credit, wherever it
belongs, to the disclosure Of these
Philadelphia pecViarities, with the
hope that all who are guilty of such
atrocious culinary methods may be
brought TO condign punishment. We
would suggest, in view of the ap.
preaching centennial celebration in the
Quaker City, that the influx of visitors
on that occasion will be immensely In
creased, If some public assurance can
be given that the gastronomic evils
complained of no longer exist. Let
the authorities see to 1t that alum,

How the Shooting-Fish HuntA

S"Nei, V'aih1 d 'o @5u'zzfca.J
This very peculiar creature is found
only in the East Indies, and is supplied
by nature with admirably adapted
means for carrying on it's sporting pro-
cliyities. Its beak is a sort of hollow
cylinder, or miniature gun barrel. Il
fre 4uents the rivers mostly, though
sometimes found on the seashore in
shallow waters. When this fish is
hungry and espies fly or an insect Sit
ting upon the leaf of some sea plant he
swims away four or five feet from his
prey, from whence to take his aim, then
with great dexterity he elects out of his
tube like mouth one drop of water so
well directed that it never fails to knock
the insect into the water, when he be-
comes an easy victim and is eagerly de-
pOured

Advice to Those Who Shoot,
fCino omnati Tran and Tripeerl

Accidents, now that the open season
for hunting is on, are to he expected.
Proper carefulness would prevent them
almost entirely. No man who can not
keep his wits about him under almost
all circumstances, is fit to be trusted
with a loaded gun. The man who
always handles a gun as if it were
loaded and dangerous, will escape acci.
dents to himself and others. In hunt
ing gamo take no risas whatever O,
shooting man or beast. It is always
best to keep out of fields where there
are domestic animals feeding, unless
you own the fields and animals. "Look
before you shoot" is good maxim for
the hunter to apply, especially when his
dogs are on a point. Look all around
before flushing the game, and if there
is any living thing except the game in
range, don shoot that way, or better,
don't shoot at all.
